I am looking for something similar to blogcatalog (dot) com. I am going to have most of the features of the site (except for the neighborhood widget) so please look through the site and design something similar.

Please code the front page with a place for featured blogs, recently added, by language, popular tags, just like the blogcatalog site.

I have a programmer who is going to code the pages based on blogcatalog, so please be sure to look through the site. I would like to use different colors however, please look at the following sites for inspiration (colors, theme, layout, etc)

For now please name the site BlogDirectory. Please make sure that you send me all of the images to the site in psd format so I can change them if need be. Make sure to send me the template of the index, and then a subpage as well (it can be empty in the content portion, just so that my programmers can code the rest of the pages).
